Double bill to round off the first leg of the tour

Sir Rod Stewart can now ‘put his feet up’ for around four weeks – with two performances in Uncasville, CT (Friday) and in Uncasville, PA yesterday (Saturday), the 81-year-old brought the first part of his 2026 tour to a close. On 15 April, the Stewart Express will be back on the road, with Sir Rod and his band performing in Knoxville.

This weekend’s double bill left nothing to be desired. Rod was in top form and high spirits at both shows, flirting playfully with the audience in the front rows of the arenas and whirling across the stage just as he did in his heyday. The fans rewarded him with thunderous applause and enthusiasm that filled the arena from the very first moment of the evening. Even those who might not have been quite in the party mood were swept up by the atmosphere and could not help but get up and dance, or at least sing along. The opener alone – on both evenings, it was the Robert Palmer classic “Addicted To Love” – ensured that many in the arenas could no longer keep their feet still, leapt out of their seats and began to fidget about.

And Sir Rod, the consummate professional entertainer, immediately followed up with his own classics such as “You Wear It Well” and “Tonight I’m Yours”, or the Faces hit “Ooh La La”.

The crowds in the arenas, both packed to the rafters, were barely given a moment’s respite to catch their breath. Hit followed hit, feet were burning, vocal cords were put under severe strain – but the crowd had a great time and kept the party going. It was only after “Hot Legs” that the fans could catch their breath a little with “Tonight’s The Night” and “You’re In My Heart”. Sir Rod also treated himself to the usual short breaks here and there, only to return no less powerful in a fresh outfit. During “Young Turks”, the first sweaty, dance-crazed fans could be spotted in the audience, whilst elsewhere people rushed to the drinks stand to revive their throats – badly strained from singing along – with cool drinks for the rest of the show.

The audience had a great time in front of the stage, and Sir Rod up on stage was having just as much fun.

The shows were one big party, a wave of musical highlights from past decades that swept through both the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville and the PPL Center in Allentown.

Saturday’s performance was the tenth of the year; all previous shows had been sold out, and Rod Stewart delivered musical entertainment of the very highest quality. The next concert is scheduled for 15 April, when fans at the Boling Arena in Knoxville can look forward to a ‘Night To Remember with Rod Stewart and Band’.
